KCTU Announces 'General Strike'... The Ruling Class Cries: "It's Illegal!!"
Today's (bourgeois)Korea Times reported the following:
The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), the nation's second largest umbrella union with some 670,000 members, will begin a strike of indefinite duration on April 24 to protest the government's proposed reforms of the labor market.
The union said Monday that some 428,800 of its members participated in a vote from March 21 to April 8, to decide on whether to begin industrial action. Of them, 84.35 percent voted in favor of the strike.
Their key demand is to stop the government from implementing proposed reforms of the labor market, which they claim would favor companies at the expense of employees.
"The government continues to push ahead with reforming the labor market so that employers can fire workers and reduce their salaries easily," KCTU President Han Sang-gyun told reporters.
In a statement, the union called for the resignation of Labor Minister Lee Ki-kwon. It also urged the government to stop trying to cut pensions for public officials and raise Korea's minimum hourly wage to 10,000 won ($9.1) from the current 5,580 won.
The strike will continue for an indefinite period. The KCTU said it will hold a protest rally near Seoul Station on April 24. This is to be followed by four more gatherings on April 25, 27, 28 and 29.
In response, the Korea Employer's Federation (KEF), an interest group for employers, claimed the strike is illegal, saying their requests are not legitimate reason for strike action...(the full article you can read here)
